Synopsis
He’s been a bad, bad rake—and it takes a governess to teach him a lesson
The accidental governess
After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke’s heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. The ladies of London have tried—and failed—to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart . . . without risking her own.
The infamous rake
Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to give her an education—in pleasure. That should prove he can’t be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling . . . and he’s in danger of falling, hard.
Review
I received with thanks an ARC copy of The Governess
Game from Mills & Boon and Netgalley.
This is my true and honest review of The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke #2). This was published on 6th September 2018.
This is my true and honest review of The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke #2). This was published on 6th September 2018.
This is book 2 of ‘Girl Meets Duke’ and follows Alexandra
and Chase. Chase never wanted to be heir to his uncle’s dukedom but due to unforeseen
tragic circumstances, he is now heir and
guardian to two young and unruly girls. He has hired multiple governesses, and
none have lasted. He thinks all is lost until Alexandra turns up to offer her services
as a clock repair/maintenance lady. Due to
a miss understanding that was started and year and a half before, Alex is
offered the job of as his ward's governess.
At first, she turns down his offer, but circumstances mean to has to take the
offer. Alexandra knows that Chase is not the ideal employer as he is known as a
scoundrel and rake well known in society as a seducer of women. But Alexandra can’t
help the attraction towards the notorious rake.
Like all Tessa Dare’s books, this is romantic, funny and highly enjoyable. I loved Alexandra’s
and Chase’s relationship. It was great to see other characters from book one of
the series. This was just as adorable as book one. Cannot wait for book 2.
A great book anyone who loves romance and
historical romance.
